Generation Options - Set Media
Set media color is optional and serves two purposes:
• If you want to preview the media color in theJob Editor, you can set the media color either
from the image or from the color dialog menu.
• If you have areas in your image that use the media color and you want that color to be handled
with special consideration. For example; if you want the media color from the image to show
through the design, you must first define your fill options, then set the media color and define
the Media Color Handling Options as either "Spot Knockout" or "Full Knockout".
NOTE
The generation options are used in combination with the fill options, except when the media
color handling is set to "No Knockout". If you want to use the Spot Layer Tool to create flood
fills, underlay fills or mask fills it is not always necessary to set a mask or media color to get the
desired results.
To set the media color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or use the drop down
arrow to access the Color Dialog menu.
• Generation Options - Set Mask
The mask allows you to determine the area that you wish to print with spot data. Setting the
mask color is optional. If the image you are printing contains white data in more than the mask
area, you will need to set up a different background color not used anywhere else in the file to
use as your mask. This must be done in an image-editing program prior to bringing the image
into the Spot Layer Tool.
To set the mask color: Click the sample box to activate the color picker or use the drop-down
arrow to pick the color from the preview.
• Generation Options - Media Color Handling
If you have set a media color, you have three options for how you would like the media color
to be handled. The term "Knockout" means to remove from the selection. If you've set a media
color, chances are you want some portion of the design to be removed to use the media color.
These are the option you have to choose from:
• No Knockout - If you've set a media color to help you visualize your output, choose this
option. This will print the image and spot data with no knockout.
• Spot Knockout - If you choose this option, RIP-Queue removes the spot data anywhere the
image data matches the media color that you set. Use this option when you want to
knockout the spot data but still print the image data that matches the media color.
• Full Knockout - If you choose this option, RIP-Queue removes the spot data and the image
data anywhere the image data matches the media color that you set. Use this option when
you want to knockout the spot data and the image data, allowing the media to fully show
through.
• Spot Channel
The Arizona 6100 XTHF Mark II series has two spot channels available. The names that appear
here should be the ones you used to create the media in Media Manager. The recommended
spot channel names are: "Spot 1" and "Spot 2".
NOTE
ONYX software treats Spot 1 and Spot1 as equivalent. The space between "t" and "1"
is not important but the case is, so the "S" must always be capitalized.
• Flood Fill
This option generates a flood fill for the entire image by combining the underlay and mask fills
together. When you check this option, the underlay and mask fill sliders lock together and are
set at 100%. You can change the opacity for the flood fill by moving either of the sliders.
• Underlay Fill Opacity
This option generates a fill in the selected spot channel where image data exists. The fill will be
generated anywhere image data does not match the mask.
